"Mr Davie added he was "very sorry that anyone has had an experience that hasn’t been wholly positive."That’s something we do need to reflect on and I’m sorry about that," he continued."There are clearly learnings specifically about oversight in the training rooms that we had needed to address."Tim Davie also confirmed the hit dance show would return this autumn.
